“Why should I have believed you?!”
Briana looked indifferent, “If you don’t believe, then forget it.
Now Mark was truly panicked. He just wanted to ask Melody for money, not risk his life. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Coldness filled Maxim’s eyes. “There are only twenty minutes left until the dynamite explodes. Even if a bomb disposal expert were to rush over now, it would be too late.”
“What should I do… Am I really going to die here today?”
A flash of hatred crossed Mark’s eyes as he said coldly, “Even if I die. I’ll drag you down with me!”
Briana lowered her gaze, and after a few seconds of contemplation, she said, “I’ve learned how to defuse bombs.”
Suspicion filled Mark’s eyes, “How do I know you’re not planning to kill me?”
Briana rolled her eyes, no wonder the company went bankrupt with this level of intelligence.
“Was I not by your side when I was defusing the bomb for you? If the bomb had exploded, I would have died with you”
Mark swallowed, momentarily speechless.
Briana was getting a bit impatient and said coldly, “Are you going to dismantle it or not? If you don’t, once the time comes, everyone here

will die.”
“Alright, I agreed to let you defuse the bomb.”
No sooner had the words fallen than a cold voice rang out.
“Briana, I came to help you.”
Briana frowned, turning to Maxim impatiently and said, “Don’t come over and make a mess!”
Defusing a bomb was extremely dangerous. If anything went wrong. the bomb would detonate immediately. She was willing to take the risk alone, not wanting to involve Maxim.
Maxim didn’t speak, but walked straight to her side.
“Don’t be afraid, no matter what, I was always with you.”
Briana looked at him coldly, her eyes devoid of any warmth, “I don’t need your company, leave immediately!”
“I also know a bit about bomb disposal, I can still help you here.”
“No need, I could do it by myself.”
“Briana, there were only seventeen minutes left on the countdown, were you sure you wanted to keep wasting time telling me to leave?”
Briana was silent for a few seconds, then gritted her teeth and said, “You brought this on yourself, deal with the consequences.”
Someone brought over a pair of scissors. Besides Mark, her, and Maxim, everyone else had left the scene. The entire hall was so quiet that the only sound was the ticking of the bomb countdown.
At that moment, Mark was so scared that his legs went weak. Seeing

the serious expressions on Briana and Maxim’s faces, he finally believed that the bomb was real.
Every countdown seemed like a death knell, pushing his emotions to the brink of collapse.
As time ticked by, a thin layer of sweat had already formed on Briana’s
face.
The construction of this explosive was not difficult, but it was
extremely difficult to identify which wire to cut, because all the wires were the same color.
Briana had eliminated several wires using the process of elimination, but there were still two left, and she ran out of time to eliminate them
Seeing Briana holding the scissors but not making a move, Mark was already shaking with fear.
“Could you do it or not?”
“Shut up!”
Briana took a deep breath, turned her head towards Maxim and said, “You step back, I’m going to cut the wire.”
Seeing the uncertainty in her eyes, Maxim nodded and said, “Alright.”
Only after Maxim had walked a dozen meters away did Briana slowly make up her mind, she had no choice but to take a gamble.
“Click!”
One of the lines was cut off.
